Now assume that the additional patients will add $200,000 in total to theCenter’s fixed costs. Now what is the expected profit on 20 new patients?On 40 new patients? (No new fixed costs are required to support the secondgroup of 20 patients.)
Assume that a certain nursing home has two categories of payers. Medicaid pays las $60.00 per day and private pay patients pay the established per diem, but approximately 10 percent of private pay charges are not collected. If 50 percent of the patients are Medicaid and 50 percent are private pay, what rate must be set to rep generate $150,000 in profit? Variable costs are $45.00 per day and fixed costs are expected to be $1,000,000. Expected volume is 50,000 patient days. Using this data and assuming that the nursing home charges $100 per day, what would be the nursing home's required volume (in patient days) in order to make $150,000 profit?
The hospital’s fixed costs are $38 million: What is the hospital’s net income? Assume that half of the 100,000 covered lives in the commercial payer group will be moved into a capitated plan. All utilization and cost data remain the same. What PMPM rate will the hospital have to charge to retain their Part a net income? What overall net income would be produced if the admission rate of the capitated group were reduced from the commercial level by 10 percent? Assuming that the utilization reduction also occurs, what overall net income would be produced if the variable cost per admission for the capitated group were lowered to $2,200?

You are considering starting a walk-in clinic. Your financial projections for the first year of operations are as follows: Revenue (10000 visits) $394,007 Wages and benefit $226,585 Rent $4,095 Depreciation $29,179 Utilities $2,164 Medical supplies $49,632 Administrative supplies $9,163 Assume that all costs are fixed, except supply costs, which are variable. Furthermore, assume that the clinic must pay taxes at a 31 percent rate. What number of visits is required to provide you with an after-tax profit of $108,247? [Hint: Remember that after-tax profit = before-tax profit * (1- tax rate).] (Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your final answer to 2 decimal places. For example, 12.3456 should be entered as 12.35. REMINDER: quantities are always rounded UP. Canvas does not have this capability.)
Problem 1c: Consider the following information for Rosebud Lane Hospital. The number of admissions for the year are expected to equal 1000, but could vary from 750 to 1250. Rosebud's fee-for-service is $2,000 under a prospective payment system. Under a capitation reimbursement system, Rosebud must cover 1000 patients at a capitation payment of $2,000. Rosebud's annual fixed costs are $500,000 and it variable cost per admission is $1,500. 1c. Calculate Rosebud's net profit under the Fee For Service Reimbursement method if admissions are 1250. (Answer to the nearest dollar. Do not include the dollar sign in your answer.) 1d. Calculate Rosebud's net profit under Capitation if admissions are 1250. (Answer to the nearest dollar. Do not include the dollar sign in your answer.)

Keating Hospital is considering two different low-field MRI systems: the Clearlook System and the Goodview System. The projected annual revenues, annual costs, capital outlays, and project life for each system (in after-tax cash flows) are as follows: Assume that the cost of capital for the company is 8 percent. Required: 1. Calculate the NPV for the Clearlook System. 2. Calculate the NPV for the Goodview System. Which MRI system would be chosen? 3. What if Keating Hospital wants to know why IRR is not being used for the investment analysis? Calculate the IRR for each project and explain why it is not suitable for choosing among mutually exclusive investments.
